OT- Bitcoin

Never tell a realtor what your top or bottom number is. They are not asking those types of questions to help you out.
I'm sure its not easy, as there are roughly 2 million relators in the US. That's a lot of competition to screw people out of 6%.
You know it is not a hard job when ever Firemen and teachers do it as a "part time" gig.

My point is that blockchain technology is not "hype" it is a technology that can change the way our economy works. I'm not hyping it up, I am telling people what the purpose and end goals of the tech is

What’s going on dsmalls? Solana is getting rekt along with Bitcoin . Thank god I have less than 1% “invested” 😂

I sold at $102 looking to re-enter around $75. Could have timed the top a bit better, but I’m not super upset. My initial entry price was $42 and that was after rotating up from BTC and ETH.

I mean if you didn’t believe SOl was a good investment and have conviction, why did you invest?

My advice has been simple, buy SOL, sell when it hits $700 or higher. Crypto is volatile as hell.

The only thing I’ve changed is my timeframe for bull cycle to mid to late 2025 as more likely than end of 2024. I’d go into my reasoning, but y’all would be more interested in making fun.

Just go put that money in SPX and watch it correct 30% and take another year to get back to your buy price. ;-)

I never said the Blockchain technology is hype. I do think that it is very possible the cryptocurrency which is based on blockchain technology is hype. Why? because 85% of people who have invested in crypto have lost money. Because it’s so complicated that even people who say they know everything about it argue about what the terms mean and how to invest in it. Because having some type of code to something someone “mined” out of thin air only has value because the person who is trying to sell it, or eventually sell it say it does. Because only people with so much money and influence that when they move it in and out of a cryptocurrency they change the perceived value can reliably make money. The rest of us are just fighting over the value of crumbs

@dsmalls3 I know you are a big fan of Solana so please do not take offense to this as I know it is a good blockchain

In response to this @61bigredfan I base everything off of Bitcoin and then invest is the Blockchains that I think are going to make a larger gains and have minimal chance to get wrecked. There are two

Cardano and Ethereum

Then you have other solid Blockchains that are doing some amazing things like Solana, Algorand, Avalanche, Polkadot etc... that could even increase at a higher level than Cardano and Ethereum, but I feel very strongly that they have a greater chance to fail.

Bitcoin = Safest Play/Worst Profit
Ethereum = Next Safest Play/Better Profit than Bitcoin, but nothing else
Cardano = Next Safest Play/Better Profit than Bitcoin and Ethereum, but not other up and comers.

Cardano is my wheelhouse as I know it could 10x's and I have very little worry it will tank

I just keep buying as it goes down....with the predetermined amount of money I have aside for crypto which used to be the money I'd use to flip houses.

I haven't been able to flip any houses since the crazy deep pocketed investment groups started buying up any houses not landed in OZ yet.

So that money is going into crypto since they took me out of my element, I have to pivot somewhere and crypto is making too much money to ignore.

I'm not sure about the coins as currency for the long term, but I know I can make money on it now. So I am.

Sounds like you didn’t have convection with SOL. You sold at 102? I’m just gonna laugh at any future comments you have because you are full of sh!t. I hope you get wiped out

Did you do most of the work on the houses on your own?

I wish I could do that stuff but I am all thumbs.
 
Lol of course.. you sold when you told others to buy. Good gawd you crypto bros are gonna get wiped out

Are you stupid? I pay closer attention to charts than anybody else on this board, so I’m going to trade more actively.

Any price at buying SOL as a long right now, even if you bought at $120, will be a long term fantastic buy.

Agree with everything you said here and solid break down.

BTC is the least volatile. It will be less stressful to handle the swings, but as you said, you won’t gain as much in returns.

I’m not a big fan of Cardano, not sure I see they are doing anything in the DeFi or gaming space, but I respect anybody who is. I don’t know much about Cardano, so probably a lot I’m missing. Crypto will have many winners, no reason to be a maxi to 1 token.

Another important thing to point out is that yes, although it is massively small, there is a chance it all goes to “zero” Quantum computer hacks BTC, governments become tyrannical and tax crypto to the point it destroys it.

More probable of a risk, is the chance that although BTC has followed an almost perfect 4 year cycle over 14 years, making it easy to predict when to invest, that something happens to disrupt this cycle. I find this chance also very small.

Crypto is the best example you can find of an asymmetrical bet. If, and an important if, you take the time to study it and know what you are doing, your potential returns FAR outstrip your risk. But there is risk.

If that’s not your thing and you like a steady 7% over 30 years, cool.
 
the thing about crypto is it's like bull riding, violent swings..
where like stocks are more like ropeing calfs..

people have different tolerances, which is ok, God Bless America!
dumbest analogy of all time.. well done

You crypto bros remind me of my friends that live for Vegas. Always talk about your wins .. no talk of your losses .. so funny
 
Yeah, basically you can just pit them against each other now...

Or just get a lawyer to do it for 500 dollars.
My last few sell side transactions have been 1% to list and 2% on the buy side. And that was overly generous.

Funny... I have helped build a P2E NFT Tournament system on Cardano. Runs 4 Smart Contracts and auto runs the tournaments and distributes the winnings

I'll share the link if you want, but we are building on it

That’s awesome. Like I said, I don’t follow Cardano, so a lot I’m missing.

If you have Twitter link I’ll check it out.

The NFT project is called Zombie Chains

This is the Tournament system... we just started it a couple weeks ago. Still in the very early stages


Here is the Whitepaper


Here is the twitter account... Native Token is called $Fuze

I might be there with you on the charts and also a very active and technical trader, just not as much with crypto. I’m still holding SOL since December 27th and not too worried yet.

Since I guess this is the trading thread now, I’ll post my INTC $49 sold puts from today, expiring Friday. This is an earnings play for their Thursday announcement, betting on the stock moving up this week. I am still holding /RTY and /ES futures long since January 12th. Looking good and looking for more.

I'll have to check that out. Decent premiums on the intc options? What are your typical strategies?

I have to disagree with you here... I pay extreme close attention to the charts. So not everyone on the board

I use trendlines and channels that I draw myself combined with sort of an “in my head” RSI for all different kinds of time frames depending on how it looks and what it is. I look at patterns like head/shoulders, “h” or “M” patterns. I look at poor highs and lows likely to be taken out (double/triple tops and bottoms). I look at divergences between different stocks and markets especially the VIX or major stocks compared with overall indexes.

I also recently got into INFN long expiring in July aiming for $6 per share in that. Also long TSLA expiring in a month aiming for $235 per share. Also long ENPH indefinitely at $121.

That’s awesome. Options is definitely an area I know little about, but would like to eventually learn more.

Thanks for the overview. I'm long tsla myself but short the weekly calls. Typically, I run a wheel strategy on four different positions. Mostly weeklies, which can be unpopular. But it gives me better control if the price breaches my strikes since im not rolling the calls. I'll modify this a bit after or during the next bull run...whenever that is.

INTC Friday options volatility are at 96%. Typical for Intel earnings week. I can tell you I work at different Facebook data centers a few times per year and the millions of storage drives that are housed in those massive buildings are all Intel.

I’ve been trading options for a couple years now, after mostly just trading futures and it has opened up my trading a LOT. You can do so much more with options than regular trading. Options on futures as well.

I'll dig into that in the morning. Cash secured puts ATM have been good to me in the past.

It will be interesting to see what INTC does when it spins out their FPGA group.
